Garden
Club's 75th annual tours support projects year-round
By BARBARA P. HEDDINGER
Publicity chairman, Garden Club of Charleston
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
APRIL
1, 2010 -- If you love seeing hidden gardens that are usually not
on public view, or fabulous flower arrangements, then you really
must join the Garden Club of Charleston for its 75th Annual Walking
Tour of Private Houses & Gardens. The tours will take place
on Friday, April 9, and Saturday April 10 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Wear your comfortable walking shoes and come along!
Heddinger |
The
tours will include some of Charleston's finest homes and gardens
in the Historic District and will also feature flowers arranged
by members of the Garden Club of Charleston. Refreshments will be
served in a lovely Charleston garden. The tours coincide with the
peak of the Lowcountry blooming season and give visitors as well
as local residents the chance to go "behind the scenes"
and share the beauty of these inviting spaces. Charleston's distinctive
downtown homes and gardens appeal to nearly everyone, but many of
the most charming places are tucked away from view.

Susan
Hemminger is the chairman of this year's event, which is very special
to our garden club in that it marks the 75th anniversary of our
house and garden tours. We are the second oldest garden club in
the country, and we are very proud that we have been opening our
houses and gardens for the public to enjoy, and to benefit our continuing
projects.
The
walking tour is our annual fundraiser. Proceeds benefit the ongoing
maintenance of the Joseph Manigault House Garden, Heyward Washington
House Garden, Gateway Walk and Healing Garden at the Medical University
Institute of Psychiatry, and now the wonderful old Garden of the
Confederate Home. The club maintains those spaces both financially
and in a hands-on capacity and counts more than 30 Master Gardeners
among its membership. I wish more people knew what the Garden Club
of Charleston does for the city. People come to Charleston expecting
beautiful gardens, and we're a big part of making that happen.
Friday's
tours will take place in and around High Battery, and Saturday's
tours will be on South Battery and Murray Boulevard. It's a great
way to spend an afternoon, strolling around, seeing the flowers
and taking in their fragrance. When you spend a day in the garden,
you just feel so much better. People enjoy getting out and exploring.

club members will prepare arrangements that will be featured

The
tours can provide inspiration for your own home or garden. It's
a great place to get ideas. You may not have a house on the Battery,
but people see a particular feature, such as a window box, a water
feature or a container herb garden, and they say, 'Oh! I can't wait
to try that at home!' The tour is an endless source of inspiration
and a glimpse at what is possible.
Tickets are $35, and may be purchased in advance. We are also offering
a two-day ticket for $60. The houses and gardens will be different
on each day's tour. Tickets will also be available at the Visitor
Information Center on the day of the tours, as well as the Thursday
prior to the tours. For information on the tour and how to order
tickets, please visit
our Web site, or call 530-5164.
The
tours usually sell out, so plan to get your tickets early so that
you won't be disappointed. Participants can feel good in knowing
that they're supporting a great cause.

Local resident
and her ukulele make jingle contest semifinals
By
ANN THRASH, editor
APRIL
1, 2010 -- If you love coffee, you surely appreciate the power of
that first cup every morning, but for Charleston resident Amanda
Lowers, coffee just become seriously eye-opening. Amanda is one
of 10 semifinalists nationwide in a Folger's coffee jingle contest
that has $25,000 - and possibly a future TV commercial - as the
grand prize. All she needs is your vote online and she'll be on
her way.
Thrash |
Amanda,
26, was among hundreds of people who submitted a 30-second video
for the contest. The video shows the downtown resident strolling
along a local beach, ukulele in hand, singing about the pleasures
of a morning cup of coffee. The jingle ends, naturally, with the
Folger's slogan: "The best part of wakin' up is Folger's in
your cup."
For
someone with no musical background, it's a heck of a debut.
"My
mom is an avid 'American Idol' watcher, and she saw Kara ('Idol'
judge Kara DioGuardi) announce the contest," says Amanda, who
works at the Apple computer store downtown. "I had just gotten
a ukulele for Christmas last year and I am absolutely in love with
it. Putting the jingle together mostly consisted of me just singing
in the shower for a couple of days to come up with something."
Amanda
Lowers got her first ukulele for Christmas and, just a month
or so later, used it to play her way into the semifinals of
a Folger's coffee jingle contest. (Photo provided by Folger's) |
She
recorded the song at a studio in Charlotte and did the video on
a very cold February day at Folly Beach. Her friend Mike Ledford,
also a local resident, shot the video, and you'll probably feel
right at home when you watch it. It's got a very Lowcountry vibe.
Amanda
describes her past musical experience in three words: "Not
a thing!" The ukulele is the first and only instrument she
plays. As a child, she longed to take up the guitar, but she says
she's short - just 5 feet tall - and couldn't get her fingers right
on the frets. The ukulele turned out to be the next best thing.
"It just really fits my personality," she says. And although
the sweet, clear voice you'll hear in the jingle sounds like it
has lots of potential, Amanda doesn't have singing experience, either.
"Just singing around the house," she says.
We
looked at all 10 semifinalists' videos, and it isn't just hometown
pride when we say that Amanda's stands out. It's probably no shock
that she's the only one playing a ukulele, but more than that, her
jingle and video have a very simple, pure, clean style. "I
know one of the things the videos were judged on was creativity,
and I just tried to do a video that showed my personality and that
would really give people a feeling of who I am and why I wrote my
song the way I did," she said. "I didn't think at all
about trying to do it in a particular style, so I'm just lucky to
be among the semifinalists. Mine is probably one of the more simple
ones. But I like things simple, and a lot of times I think less
is more."

VOTE
FOR AMANDA
To vote
for Charleston resident Amanda Lowers' jingle in the Folger's
coffee contest, go
to this Web site.
|
The
next step in the contest is the online voting, which began March
28 and will run through April 21. The ten semifinalists will be
narrowed down to five, and those finalists - Amanda hopefully among
them - will fly to New York City to perform their jingles in person
for DioGuardi (the "American Idol" judge) and a panel
of others. "That would be awesome," Amanda says. "I've
never been to New York before."
If
you vote, you'll get a chance to win a prize yourself. Each day
25 names will be selected in a random drawing among all eligible
entries to each win a $25 iTunes gift card. A total of 625 prizes
will be awarded. All eligible entries received in each daily random
drawing will be combined, and one grand prize winner will be selected
to receive $10,000.
It
was a pleasure to talk with Amanda earlier this week, and we'd love
to see such a nice local young lady do well. She's got our vote
-- and hopefully yours, too.

FEEDBACK
Brack column
on health-care reform was on target
Amen
(to Andy Brack's Monday
commentary on health care reform)! We preach the "Golden
Rule" to each other and our children on a daily basis but "forget"
the basics once something occurs that doesn't meet our approval.
There will never be a time in which we all agree on everything,
but we have a choice on how to react when faced with adversity.
It is in these moments that "true character" shines through.

Metro
Monitor points to positive signs in the city

APRIL
1 , 2010 -- There are some positive economic signs in the Charleston
metro area. Employment is up; however, unemployment is over 10%,
higher than the national rate and top 100 metro communities. Housing
prices took a bad hit - overpriced, and overpriced given the seriously
below-average wages in this market. But the tech- and knowledge-based
community are promising - solid, well-paying jobs, founded on talent
who come here for recreation, culture and lifestyle. Here's the
fourth-quarter 2009 report: Visit

lines at the Charleston Maritime Center on the harbor, the course
winds through historic downtown Charleston and finishes with a post-race
celebration at the Maritime Center. There are already 300 runners
registered. Registration is still open at http://www.ifivek.com/index.html.

Spiritual
Ensemble performance unaffected by CSO crisis
Although
the Charleston Symphony Orchestra suspended operations and performances
recently, the CSO Spiritual Ensemble will continue on with its scheduled
April 3 "Spiritual Matinee" performance in conjunction
with the YWCA of Greater Charleston.
"Though
affiliated with the CSO, the CSO Spiritual Ensemble operates a separate
budget," says Lee Pringle, founder and president of the Spiritual
Ensemble. "Our upcoming weekend concert and subsequent performances
this spring are not affected by the CSO's recent suspension of operations.
We hope to see the community out in large numbers supporting this
event."
The
matinee features an afternoon of spirituals beginning at 2 p.m.
at the Circular Congregational Church, 150 Meeting St., downtown.
General admission tickets are $10 and are available at the door
one hour before the performance, or at the Gaillard Auditorium box
office from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today and Friday.
The 35-member Spiritual Ensemble is an outgrowth of the CSO Gospel
Choir that focuses on African-American spirituals and honors the
devout musical tradition of spirituals established by African-Americans
when they arrived in this country as slaves.
'Dogs
in the kitchen: New items added to ballpark menu
The
Charleston RiverDogs' "Be Your Own Fan" theme for the
2010 season doesn't stop in the stands. It extends into the kitchen,
too, with a variety of new offerings.
"Every
year we try to come up with something new and adventurous while
appetizing, and through the years we've been very successful in
this endeavor," says General Manager Dave Echols. "While
the theme for the RiverDogs this season is 'Be Your Own Fan,' in
this instance BYOF can translate to 'Build Your Own Frank' as our
variety of hot dogs - a ballpark staple - is among the best anywhere."
Among
the hot dogs making their debut are the Beantown Dog (New England-style,
top-sliced bun with a hot dog adorned with spicy mustard, baked
beans and onions), the Yankee Dog (hot dog, brown mustard, sauerkraut
and chow-chow) and the Pickle Dog - a mouth-watering frank nestled
cozily inside a robust dill pickle topped with cole slaw. Sweet
potato waffle fries will be new on the menu as well. And if you're
in one of the luxury suites, you'll have a chance to try one of
the new 5-foot sub sandwiches.
The
RiverDogs open the season at home on April 8. For tickets or other
information, go to http://www.riverdogs.com.
The RiverDogs are an underwriting partner of CharlestonCurrents.com.
Schedule
announced for Blue Angels show over harbor
More
details have been announced for the upcoming Charleston Harbor Airshow,

Squadron, flying over Charleston Harbor and the Cooper River. The
Blue Angels will give one-hour shows on both April 17 and April

the city of Charleston are co-sponsors of the event.
 |
Viewing

the Yorktown will require that patrons pay the admission fee for
the ship. Viewers can also watch from the parking lot at Patriots
Point; seating will be limited, and there is a $3 parking fee, but
access will be free for pedestrians.
Areas
in the Cooper River and Charleston Harbor will be restricted in
terms of boat traffic and anchorage during the shows. More information
will be provided closer to the shows, city officials said. Arrangements
are in the works for local radio stations to play the narration
of the Blue Angels show that is done by one of the team members,
so plan to bring a portable radio to your viewing area.

ENCYCLOPEDIA
Chicken
bog
While
anecdotal evidence exists that the name chicken bog was related
to the "boggy" nature of its home, the Pee Dee, the southern
writer James Villas states in his book Stews, Bogs and Burgoos that
a "bog (unlike a pilau) is any stew that includes wet, soggy
rice."
In
her benchmark work, The Carolina Rice Kitchen, Karen Hess
is more specific, describing chicken bog as a pilau made in large
batches, which would always cause it to end up wet. The culinary
historian Damon Lee Fowler defines chicken bog as "a highly
localized form of pilau, probably of African provenance, in the
U.S. found only in South Carolina." From research in the Pee
Dee region for his documentary film Southern Stews: A Taste of the
South, Stan Woodward concluded that "while fondly cherished
as the native stew of the Pee Dee … the name chicken bog was
never well documented by its users … because it was a commonplace
high protein meal that fed a lot of people in a poor environment."
Traditionally,
the only ingredients are chicken, rice, sausage, and onions, seasoned
with salt and plenty of black pepper. The best chicken to use is
an older hen, past good egg production, free-range and full of flavor;
the second choice is a fat roaster. The chicken is poached, and
then its meat is pulled off the bone, not chopped. The fat is removed
from the broth, and then the rice, chicken, sausage, and onions
all simmer gently together in the broth until the rice is "done."
Whether
chicken bog is eaten with a fork or a spoon depends on the cook.
Even for a respected Pee Dee "bogmaster," says Woodward,
cooking bog in fifty-gallon wash pots is an art. It is "good
bog if the rice is plump and moist, holds on to one another real
good and sits up above a little gravy in the bottom of the pot and
don't cling to the chicken."
Chicken
bog is the main attraction at the annual Democratic stump meeting
at Galivants Ferry, near the Little Pee Dee River. Traditional accompaniments
are snap beans, white rolls, and Pepsi. The same combination is
served in Loris, a small town north of Myrtle Beach. Loris residents
decided in 1979 to make chicken bog the theme for an annual festival
in October, which centers around the "Bog-Off," a cooking
competition for the best chicken bog. In 2001 attendance at the
festival numbered approximately twenty thousand.
